Neonatal Mortality Levels for 193 Countries in 2009 with Trends since 1990: A Systematic Analysis of Progress, Projections, and Priorities (original) (raw)
Figure 8
Forecasting the number of years for low- and middle-income regions to reduce NMR to the current rate in HICs.
The graph illustrates when each region of the world attains a NMR of 3.6 as observed in HICs in 2009—the year each region attains a NMR of 3.6 is specified in parenthesis. Regional NMRs are illustrated as constant from the year they achieve a NMR of 3.6. Forecasting based on average annual changes in the NMR over the 10-y period 1999–2009.
